First off, I want to start by saying anyone who advocates expanding the NCAA Tournament field from 65 teams to 96 teams is a moron. This isn't little league. We don't all get participation ribbons.
And I know there were opponents to the expansion to 64 back when it was introduced, ...

Since today will see streets in towns all across the country littered with pasty white Irishmen (and women) celebrating the beautiful world of alcohol, I figured we should have some sort of homage to pasty whiteness.
So to do that we're going to discuss one of the biggest feel-bad stories to ...

Indiana's basketball season continues falling to depths that have only been previously measured in the Marianas Trench, with the latest indignity coming on Wednesday night with the Hoosiers' first home loss to Northwestern in 41 years. In fact, the Wildcats had never beaten IU at Assembly Hall, with the last ...

I'm betting there's some people around the water cooler (I'm betting because I don't partake in water coolers or those conversations) who fancy themselves college basketball experts and are thinking that, after Connecticut of course, Marquette might be the class of the Big East.
They might be right. But jumping to rash conclusions ...

It is not a good time for the Notre Dame basketball team right now. Gone are the happy-go-lucky days of making many 3-pointers. Those moments have been replaced with long faces and quiet locker rooms.
As a man named Heath Ledger would say if he were alive and wearing lots of ...

Let's begin this post with a simple statement: I love University of Pittsburgh basketball. Whew, it feels good to get that off my chest.
Everybody knows this blog is populated with guys who attended The Indiana University. So, naturally, we're all IU basketball fans.
But Pitt, now ranked No. 1 and probably ...

Happy Championship Week to everyone.
Just want to point out Utah, Boise State and TCU are all ranked ahead of the Big East champion (Cincinnati) and whoever the ACC champion will be. But do any of those four teams get to go to BCS games? One: Utah, with an outside shot ...

It's just plain wrong Boise State and Ball State can go undefeated, win their respective conferences, and not get into the BCS. What makes it ironic is it'll be another undefeated non-BCS team (Utah) that's taking their place.
Once again, we've learned exactly what makes the BCS so shitty. Instead of ...

It's McD's week 13 picks extravaganza!
This week is positively loaded down with fantastic games to the point that I may not shower until 11pm eastern Saturday night.
My record isn't what it should be (read: shitty) against the spread, so I'm going for broke. The sheer number of picks I'm making this ...

Record through Week 11: 119-48, 81-83-5 ATS
Damn, under .500 again. That overall record makes me feel a little better though. Playing .710 ball just picking the winners isn't too bad though, given the unpredictability of college football and several other typical excuses. Time for the home stretch....
12pm EST
Northwestern (7-3) at ...
